https://github.com/jvalcher/termfu

Hi HN,First "Show HN" post!Termfu is a fast, multi-language TUI debugger that allows you to create and switch between custom layouts.I couldn't find a terminal debugger that fulfilled my particular needs and desires, so I create one that does for the most part. On the UI spectrum, it's somewhere between GDB's TUI and Vimspector. It currently supports GDB and PDB. It uses customizable,...

No shortcut configuration.
As soon as they add the ability to configure shortcuts, I'd more than happy to. After several years of requests, we're finally seeing some movement on their end.

That article hits the nail on the head. The lack of concision in his writing style seems almost sadistic at times.

I've read this one three times over the years. What can I say? Sometimes, a book just grabs you and won't let go. It was the first novel that truly rewarded my effort.

"The truth will set you free. But not until it is finished with you."

"His white knit shirt and name-brand shorts were soaked through so you could see the straps of his jock biting into the soft ass I was handing him."

"Jim, [Marlon Brando] moved like a careless fingerling, one big muscle, muscularly naïve, but always, notice, a fingerling at the center of a clear current. That kind of animal grace. The bastard wasted no motion, is what made it art, this brutish no-care."

"The key to the successful administration of a top-level junior tennis academy lies in cultivating a kind of reverse-Buddhism, a state of Total Worry."

"Yes, I'm paranoid -- but am I paranoid enough?"

‘Hey Hallie? I think I’m being followed.’ ‘Some men are born to lead, O.’

The only thing keeping me from switching to Firefox is the fact that you can't customize keyboard shortcuts.

Thanks. I only have a vague understanding of the scene and am looking forward to watching the documentary.

"Then, believe it or not, you also read the documentation the way it should be read and not just snippets here and there in the hopes that you can glance a 1-line remedy to your existential pain."

I'm reading "Debugging" by Agan and the first subrule under the first rule "Know the system" is "Read the manual." This was a surprisingly liberating concept for me as a new programmer -- allowing myself the time to do this during a project as a legitimate strategy instead of just looking for that snippet.

A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole is one of my all-time favorites.
